I just got re-interested in Power Records, as I have a three-year old at home who needs some non-t.v.-related media to keep him in one place for an hour or so.

I'd found my old 45's in a trunk of junk, then I set about scouring comics shops and eBay.

I lack the patience for the U.S. Mail.

I've been curious for 30 years now about the "Monster Series." Mike Ploog's art is killer, but you're right, they're massive bummers. I don't remember my folks talking about it, but there must have been lithium as well as flouride dumped in the water in the '70's.

I've got a few Power Records-related essays in my blog. Granted, it's a MySpace blog, but it'll do.

The final panels are indeed Gene Colan - reason being the majority of this story is from the Marvel Spotlight #2 origin story, but the last 8 pages are from a storyline that happened around Werewolf by Night #15, where there was a crossover with Dracula, and it was drawn by both Ploog and Colan.

It's easy enough to see when the issues change - Jack Russel is seen talking to his girlfriend Topaz, who was not in Marvel Spotlight #2, she was introduced later in the WBN series.
